The Empress resembles the High Priestess, richly dressed upon a throne, but she holds a scepter and helm, symbols of power and defense. She is the archetypal Matriarch, representing the feminine forces of beauty and creation that are necessary for balance in both men and women. The Empress symbolizes beauty, creativity and the bounty of nature.

While the origins of tarot lie in the middle east, the first tarot cards were created in northern Italy during the 15th century, and were used for card games before evolving into tools of divination.

This pendant features an Italian print of one of the earliest examples of historic tarot artwork. The artwork demonstrates the original Italian color scheme of oranges and blues, highlighted by two borders of Swarovski crystals, and is encased in an antiqued bronze bezel. 

Stately and mysterious, this pendant weighs over 2 oz/50g and is a stunning focal point for any outfit, modern or historic. Arrives in a Studio Kittie gift box, complete with an adjustable black silk cord, ready to wear.

Dimensions: 48x24mm.
